Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The purpose of this major applied research project was to devise an articulation model between SSCC, Memphis State University (MSU), and Tennessee State …

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

An informal survey revealed that the elementary teachers were not implementing the Peace Studies Curriculum in their classrooms because they did not feel adequately prepared to do so. Incidents of acting out and violent behavior continued to increase.

There was a need to educate the elementary teachers …

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

Steady decline in enrollment over the past three semesters, increasing attribution rates, and a decline in 18-year-old attending South Mountain Community College (SMCC) established the need for the study.

Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop a model marketing plan for SMCC.

Nine components were identified in the review of literature as effective marketing techniques. They included the following: marketing surveys, high school visitations, direct mail, newspaper ads, shopping center recruiting, news releases, television, radio, and billboards. A survey …

Recreation Strategies For The Retention Of First-Semester College Students, Richard P. Chesterman

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The high dropout rate of first-semester freshmen in a small, church-related college was addressed by the implementation of an organized recreation/activity strategy. This strategy was designed to provide appropriate entertainment and to contribute to a positive environment in order to integrate first-semester freshmen into the college environment and thereby increase retention. Evaluation instruments measured student--as well as faculty, staff, and administration--satisfaction with the campus environment and social/recreational activities. Moreover participation was monitored to assess the level of involvement.

The writer concluded that the greater the level of participation in relevant organized activities emphasizing social integration, the greater the level of …
